The Price of Fish
The scandal that is New Zealand's off-shore fishing industry is uncovered in this expose.
When the Korean fishing trawler Oyang 70 sank south of New Zealand with the loss of six lives the surviving crew were whisked out of the country before the media could talk to them. Guye Henderson was determined to find out the truth about conditions aboard these so-called "slave ships". He flew to Indonesia to track down the survivors.

Guardians of the Light - The Lives of
the Lighthouse Keepers 
The days when lighthouse keepers sat up all
night to keep the lights going are over - victims of automation. In
this documentary the men and women who lived on the isolated islands
and craggy cliffs of New Zealand's manned light stations revisit
their lights and talk about a lifestyle that ended last century.
Lighthouses have always held a special place in
the hearts of New Zealanders. The scores of ship wrecks testify to
the difficulties and dangers of navigating our long, exposed
coastline. On many a storm-tossed night in a heaving sea, the
distant flash of a lighthouse prompted a sailor to mutter a
heart-felt prayer of thanks.
For almost 150 years lighthouse keepers tended
those lighthouses. They were resourceful, pragmatic and practical
individuals - as close to the romantic myth of the pioneer New
Zealander as any. This is their story.
